Why We Blog

If you are looking for beautiful images to irrigate your imagination, check out the English Muse.

Always gorgeous. It is a blog by a stylish former LA Times reporter.

But I particularly loved the comments on this one--about why we blog. Scroll down and these cyber-scribbles will make you think.

Some people blog for friendship. Some to keep a journal. Some to be like pamphleteers. Some to believe they exist. Some to inspire--because they feel like traditional media is too dark and depressing, but the blogging world offers hope, inspiration, positive stories and thoughts.

What are you?

Why do you read? Why do you blog?

For anyone who loves writing--and reading--this is fascinating.

I blog anonymously. And no one seems to read it. So, I suppose like a journal, it just gets it out. of. me.

Good question. No answer.

o squidly, you blog to develop a part of yourself you rarely let anyone see. and you do keep it secret. but it is keeping some part of you alive. i love your blog. for some reason it won't let me comment, though :-(
